Chapter 744 Sarlayan: I came to the Shadow Realm for three things... Its not fair
When Sarlayan mentioned the world of the dead, he immediately thought of the withering scenes of the Blighted Realm and the Hell Abyss, and subconsciously thought that this was the main theme of the entire Shadow Realm.
The barrage corrected Sarlayan's dogmatic thinking.
It is true that the Maw, Maldraxxus and Revendreth are more in line with Sharlayan's imagination, but not all places in the Shadowlands are dark places.
The environment of the promotion fortress under the jurisdiction of the eldest daughter Gristia is very bright, and the barrage describes it as a pure land of bliss in the underworld.
However, this beautiful area is full of strict restrictions. Once you violate the rules of the promotion fortress, you may fall into heaven.
In his normal state, Kyrian has blue skin and snow-white wings.
After falling into the sky, the Forsworn's skin turns dark blue, and the wings behind him also turn pitch black.
However, this is the future information that Danmaku knows. At this world node, the hidden dangers in the Shadow Realm have not yet exploded. There should be no Forsworn in Ascension Fortress, and the peace and tranquility on the surface are still maintained.
But freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Ascension Bastion's method of erasing the memory of Kyrian's life will sooner or later cause large-scale turmoil. The emergence of the Forsworn is inevitable by accident.
Even if Uther, who had part of his soul cut off by the Lich King Arthas, had not appeared, souls from other worlds would have detonated this time bomb one day.
The undercurrent of promotion to Bastion has nothing to do with Sharlayan for the time being. His first stop when entering the Shadow Realm is the Ardenweald under the jurisdiction of the Winter Queen.
Ardenweald is closely related to the Emerald Dream of Azeroth.
The soul of the wild demigod whose soul is bound to Azeroth will not die easily after death. Instead, he will follow the rules for the dead to enter the Shadow Realm and go to Ardenweald on his own.
Under the care of the "Shadow Civil Servants" under the Queen of Winter, the weak souls of the wilderness demigods will gradually regain their activity, and only after awakening from their slumber will they return to the Emerald Dream to continue their cultivation.
If the Emerald Dream represents the spring and summer of the forest, then Ardenweald represents the bleaker autumn and winter.
After officially entering the Shadow Realm and settling on the vast grassland of Ardenweald, Sarlayan's first impression of this lush forest was...cold.
It's not cold in the physical sense, but the surrounding atmosphere reflects an inexplicable sense of desolation.
It was night when Sharlayan arrived in the Shadow Realm. The dark forest was shimmering with a cold blue light, and the dark night sky was filled with stars.
This gorgeous night scene is very magnificent, but it unconsciously gives people a feeling of loneliness.
Just as Sharlayan was silently feeling the unique atmosphere of Ardenweald, a barrage suddenly interrupted his feelings.
[Oh! I saw the herb, Sarlayan, under the tree five meters in front of you, is the soul-soothing light, a specialty of Ardenweald. 】
[Shh! Didn’t you see Xiao Sa expressing his feelings? A straight man of steel? 】
[Exactly! It’s rare to see Sarlayan enjoying the silence alone, can’t you let him rest more? 】
[Uh~ I just reminded you kindly, why does it seem like I have committed a crime? 】
Sarlayan had recovered from his sadness at this time, and shook his head in amusement while watching the debate between the two factions in the barrage.
"Okay, don't forget our goal in coming to the Shadow Realm. The main thing is to collect enough materials as soon as possible."
Wandering to the tree where the barrage reminded him, Sarlayan's fingers glowed with a faint green light and he dug the herbs out of the ground without damaging their roots.
"Is this the light that soothes the soul?"
Under the overall blue tone of Ardenweald, the appearance of this herb called Soul-Soothing Light is very eye-catching. Its pink-tinged gold light is incompatible with the surrounding environment and can be recognized at a glance.
According to the barrage, there are a total of 7 high-value herbs in the Shadow Realm. Among them, the Flower of the Firstborn that only appears in Zaresantis can be eliminated first. That area is currently inaccessible.
The six kinds of herbal powders other than the first one can be used as mediums for the psychic rituals required by Sarlayan.
Including the most common death flower in the Shadow Realm, the soothing light of the Ardenweald specialty, the marrowroot specialty of Maldraxxus, the glory flower of the Ascension Bastion, the frost flower of Revendre, and all the cities in the Shadow Realm.
The rare herb Nightshade has a chance to grow.
By the way, the anodite that Sharlayan needs to make soul steel is also a rare mineral.
In the absence of a universal currency in the Shadow Realm, if he wanted to find Nightshade Flowers and Yinite Ore in the wild, Sharlayan would need some luck in addition to hard work.
In addition to "replenishing goods", Sharlayan also needs to find the whereabouts of Bwonsamdi in the Shadow Realm.
Just as the Blighted Realm and Hades Abyss both have entrances to the material world in Azeroth, the same is true for the other side of the Death Subplane managed by Bwonsamdi, with the entrance located in Nazmir's Hades Palace.
The difference between this realm and the Realm of Blight and Hell's Abyss is that this subplane created by Bwonsamdi is also directly connected to the Shadow Realm, and it also has a small entrance and exit in the Shadow Realm.
Sharlayan also had this consideration in choosing Ardenweald, because the other side of the world is located in a corner of a remote area on the border of Ardenweald.
Since Zandalari lost to Kul Tiras in the great sea battle, Kul Tiran ships have been able to freely travel to the waters around the Zandalari Islands.
After receiving Sarlayan's order, the elites of the Backlight Blade secretly landed in the Nazmir Swamp on a Kul Tiras ship. Taking the token containing Sarlayan's power, they carefully entered the Hades to see Bwonsamdi.
However, the Backlight Blade found nothing. The Hades Palace had long been deserted, and many souls that were supposed to be lingering here had also disappeared.
The experienced thieves searched the Hades Palace and finally found the entrance to the other side of the sub-plane.
But this sub-plane entrance connected to Azeroth has long been artificially closed and cannot be opened from the material world.
After receiving the news about the return of the Backlight Blade, Sarlayan made plans to go to the Shadow Realm in person to find Bwonsamdi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sharlayan boldly speculated that there must be something wrong with Bwonsamdi and his other world, in order to prevent something from the Shadow Realm from flowing into Azeroth.
Si Cai deliberately sealed the entrance from the subplane to the material world.
Sharlayan has always been a man of revenge. Although Bwonsamdi has a bad mouth and loves to play tricks, he has always been kind to him, and he will definitely repay this kindness.
The medium of large-scale necromancy requires the use of herbal powder from the Shadow Realm that contains the rich power of death. Valeera's weapon upgrade also requires soul steel from the Shadow Realm. Together, these three things can be solved at once.
The barrage provided Sharlayan with the location information of the other world, which was on an isolated island in the southeast corner of Ardenweald.
After collecting around the foothold, Sarlayan harvested more than a dozen soul-soothing lights and more than twenty blooming death flowers. He also dug a few pieces of blazing cobalt ore and harvested some ores that he didn't know if they could be used.
After some searching, Sarlayan transformed into the form of Storm Crow and rose into the sky, overlooking the surrounding environment from the sky, so that the barrage could help him locate his approximate location.
[This...should be near Mengge Swamp, right?]
[It should be correct, the swamp terrain is quite easy to recognize, so the next route will be figured out. 】
[The entrance to that world is in the lower right corner of Arden Fairyland, but Mengsong Swamp is in the upper left corner...it's a bit far.]
The Ardenweald that Danmu has experienced is the product of being scaled down countless times. The real Ardenweald is extremely vast.
Sarlayan and Danmaku made a rough calculation of the proportions. Even if they flew sleeplessly in the form of the fastest sharp-tailed swift, it would take at least 1-2 days to cross the Ardenweald.
Besides, this is only the theoretical best state. If Sharlayan rushes like crazy over Ardenweald, he may soon attract the attention of the Faye...ah, the members of the Night Fae Covenant.
.
The Night Fae Covenant is one of the four major covenants in the Shadow Realm. It was established under the leadership of the Queen of Winter and is nominally under her jurisdiction.
But according to the barrage, the Winter Queen is a famous fisherman.
As the sister of Elune, the Winter Queen is very powerful, but she is rarely seen taking action. Most of the time, she is fishing. The four eternals in the Shadow Realm all rely on the soldier leader to carry them.
[Nothing wrong, the eldest daughter is a weakling who can be hurt by mortal lion cubs, Denathrius is a young boy, and the Winter Queen is a fisherman, so she can only rely on a warrior leader with strong martial arts. 】
Ardenweald has a large number of night elf Druyin souls from Azeroth, and the Storm Crow transformed by Sharlayan is not conspicuous at all here.
During the flight from Mengsong Swamp to the entrance to the other world, Sarlayan did not move forward at full speed and spent a lot of time looking for yin iron ore and rare herbs.
Danmu was enjoying the dreamlike scenery of Ardenweald from Sharlayan's perspective while chatting away from home and abroad.
Most of their topics were related to the Ardenweald where Sharlayan was currently located, and they would inevitably tease the Queen of Winter, the ever-high-end Eternal who never wanted to show off her skills.
"Um?"
Sarlayan, who was searching south along the swamp waterway, suddenly hovered in mid-air. He felt a consciousness coming from nowhere sweep over his body, making him shiver unconsciously.
